Amazing!
I'm not one to write reviews, but this app is really quite incredible. For 99 cents, I wasn't expecting much of the app, but I was wrong. With a large music collection, genre sorting isn't always enough to find music for certain moods. HABU is a must for music lovers, you won't regret it !
No way to export
I really like this app. It makes it so easy to organize your music by mood. But the only thing that's preventing this from being a five star review is that there doesn't seem to be a way to export your playlists to your Mac, which where I most often listen to my music. If they come with a way to do that, I'll change my rating the next day.

Great idea, but...
This is a great app that categorises music well, but it takes the mickey to actually sort all your music. It stops analysing your music after 10mins and you then have to reopen the app to get it to continue.
This is ok for the quicker initial sort, but when it starts 'identifying unmapped songs' it takes hours to do (especially as mine seems to restart at a low number every time I reopen it). This means to analyse a large library you have to sit next to your phone for hours reopening the app.
I understand this is probably done to save battery, but please give us a setting to turn it off!
Shame because this is a great app otherwise.

So many songs that it suggests. Great app!!'

Pretty Good, with half of my songs...
This app is pretty good with discovering my own music based on mood. I have been waiting for an app like this for a long time. However, in future updates I would like to see improvements with categorizing all of my songs since when I first launched it only half of my songs were put into mood categories.
Update: still crashes... A lot

Don't update
Great concept but developers have dropped the ball.
The reason for one star is that in the update they've removed the shuffle option from the playlist. If you've got a 'mood list' of a hundred songs you're only ever going to start listening at the beginning and you'll never hear the later ones.
A general issue with the concept is that a third of my music is not on the database and is not recognised therefore isn't mapped.

Nice but...
The concept is great, and for the most part the mood playlists seem pretty accurate (the different size circles to indicate how much of which categories you have is a nice touch btw), but the frequent crashing is a bit of a problem. For some reason this seems to happen most when switching moods or switching between the personal library and music search. Aside from that problem though, I would also make a couple of suggestions: 1. The move grid should have some kind of color gradient to it; the four labels tell you about general category, but don't really give a clear idea of where each cell falls on that spectrum / 2. The app should have a vertical mode of some sort as well--I like to listen to music while I'm reading ebooks, but I prefer to read ebooks in vertical mode, so I keep having to rotate my iPad back and forth in order to switch between apps.

It's good...
But it always misses a few songs. I hate that kinda thing. And you should be able to create a new mood playlist in-app. Just sayin
Good app!
It works quite well, with only the odd mistake (The Scientist- Coldplay is not in any way an energetic song :D). It doesn't seem to import all of my music though which is a bit of a pain, although that could just be because of misuse maybe or because I have a large music library? Overall it's a great app tho! :)

Absolutely love the concept!
This is an excellent idea and the songs that will play provide me with some idea of how the app works and gives me some great playlists, but many of the songs just won't play. It's very frustrating.
